Upcoming events at Family Center

On Friday, Sept. 27, The Family Center’s Lunch and Learn will feature Judge Stella Hargrove, the Rev. Trent Ogilvie and assistant director of schools Scott Gaines speaking on the importance of the male presence (and support) in a child’s life.

Are you aware that 44 percent of the births in Maury County are to single parents? And this is the population that is most rapidly growing in poverty.

“I hear constantly, ‘He’s doing all he can do,’ said Lolly Watson, Family Center executive director. “Last week we had a grandmother raising her two grandchildren after the death of her daughter. There is no paternal support, yet the father has 19 children and 24 grandchildren.”

For reservations for this event, call The Family Center at (931) 388-3840.

Also, on Friday, Sept. 20, from 10 a.m.-noon Starla Harden will present Brunch and Learn on creative soups and casseroles.
